Late Tang Dynasty Floating Life

Chapter 1466 Answer Sheet
Today's "discussion" is actually just a formality.

The main thing is to bring Yang Wo out to make a bright appearance, so that everyone knows that he is still alive.

Being alive means that Xu Wen and Zhang Hao have not killed them all, and it can dispel the desperate thoughts of some secret veterans.

After the appearance, Yang Wo was put under house arrest again.

Xu Wen and Zhang Hao sent reliable confidantes to guard them together to isolate China and foreign countries.From then on, he was just a rubber stamp.

On August 25, the Zuoya pro-army launched a large-scale raid in the city, arresting dozens of Yang Wo's cronies.

These were either Yang Wo's old people when he was in Xuanzhou, or they were newly promoted after he succeeded to the throne, that is, the "lucky ones" in the words of Yuan Xun and veterans.It may not be completely incapable, but at this time, they have no ability to resist, and they will kill one by one.

Fan Sicong and Chen Fan, who were rushing to Guangling, were also killed at the post station.

It can also be seen from this that Yang Wo was not completely unprepared after succeeding to the throne.

In fact, he promoted many confidantes who were left behind in Xuanzhou, and brought three thousand soldiers to Guangling, so that he had conflicts with those who came to replace him.

But the problem is that the soldiers he led in Xuanzhou looked down on him, thinking that he was incompetent and incompetent. After Xu Wen and Zhang Hao launched the rebellion, these people basically watched from the sidelines and did nothing.

Yang Wo has never gained the morale of the army, which is the biggest reason for his failure.

On August 27, Mrs. Shi, Yang Wo's biological mother, came forward and said, "Xu Wen and Zhang Hao did a great job in punishing those who ruled in disorder."As soon as this remark came out, the situation became more stable.

By the end of August and the beginning of September, the envoys who went to various Yamen armies to spread comfort returned one after another, and most of them brought good news.

Yajun and Zhenjun were as immovable as a mountain, neither supporting nor opposing.For Xu Wen and Zhang Hao, this is the greatest support.

Now only generals from other states are left to express their views.

On the third day of September, news of what happened in Guangling quickly spread to Luoyang.

This information is of the highest level, and it is the first time in many years that the Qibai Li express delivery system has been used.At this moment, people and horses are both "livestock", no matter how much the price is paid, the news must be sent back as soon as possible.

After Shao Shude got the news, he immediately ordered the Xuzhou camp to be formed with great fanfare, without any cover-up.

Qin Wang Shao Chengjie led 6 soldiers from Longxiang, Jindao, and Silver Spears to the south by boat, and commanded more than [-] soldiers including Tiancheng, Kelan, Luoyan, and Guangjie to attack Huainan.

Of course Xu Wen and Zhang Hao couldn't make all Huainan soldiers surrender.

If they were given a few years, with Xu Wen's ability, they might be able to do it, but Shao Shude couldn't wait.

He only needs Xu Wen and Zhang Hao's rebellion to cause chaos in Huainan, which can reduce the casualties of the Southern Expedition Army, and at the same time reduce the intensity of the war as much as possible, so that Huainan and Xuanshe Towns can retain more vitality.

As for those who refused to surrender, there was no other way but to resolve it by force—Xu Wen and Zhang Hao might be able to force Yang Wo to give the order to surrender, but whether they accepted it or not was another matter.

Shao Shude predicted that there must be such people, not just one or two.

As a military and political group, Huainan is far from decaying, and it can even be said to be at its peak.There will be many battles, but—this is also the last battle in the traditional Han area.

After fighting this battle, sort it out and calm down, and the rest will be digested by time.

Anyway, Xu Wen and Zhang Hao's troubles have dealt a heavy blow to the Huainan Group. Even if there is a rebellion in the future, its intensity will be much smaller.

On the fifth day of September, the night before King Qin Shao Chengjie left, Shao Shude called him to the Yongshou Hall of Shangyang Palace.

******
Qilang Shenli, Jiulang Xingben, Shilang Zhiyuan, Eleventh Lang Zhigu, Twelve Lang Zhuang Jing, and Thirteenth Lang Jizhi are also coming together. They will participate in the study together with King Qin.

The learning materials will be organized into books and distributed to each son.

Some customs have existed for a long time, but everyone knows them.But when the iconic event happens, people will still be very shocked, and various measures will be taken for it.

"A few years before Xingmi's death, he had been fighting and failed. Xuanzhou Tianyu and Runzhou Anrenyi were killed successively. The elite soldiers from all states were gathered in Guangling and reorganized into Yajun and Zhenjun departments." Shao Shude in the palace room Walking around, looking at the sons who were sitting respectfully below, he said, "In truth, Huainan is actually a bit like Guochao. The Guangling army is Yang Wo's forbidden army, controlled by Xu Wen and Zhang Hao. The left and right Yajun are equivalent to the palace guards and Yin Anzhi. That’s all for now, let’s move on to the next question.”

Wang Yanfan handed out the papers one by one.

Shao Shude watched quietly.The topic was written by him himself, with a little "assumption".

The first assumption is that a certain dynasty established its capital in Luoyang, had 15 imperial troops, controlled the entire old Henan Province and a part of Kansai, had a population of nearly 2000 million in the north, had a decent economy, and the living conditions of warriors were good, and the local vassals were very domineering——Shao ​​Shude A concept that the princes have learned is specially added here, the domineering index is 100%.

There are also Weibo, Chengde, Youzhou, Hedong, Hezhong, Fengxiang, Lingxia and other feudal towns in the surrounding area, and there are also feudal towns in the south and central Shu.Some of these feudal towns submit to the imperial court, some remain neutral, and some oppose the imperial court.

It is roughly the situation faced by the rear beam.

The second assumption is that after decades of war, the population in the north is only 1000 million, the economy collapsed, the warriors changed crop after crop, and they were too poor to eat. They began to reflect on their actions and their thoughts. Set - domineering index 50%.

Most of the feudal towns have been flattened, most of the elite soldiers have been incorporated into the Central Forbidden Army, and the property of the feudal towns has also been released to the central government. The so-called Jiedushi is just a name.

It is roughly the situation in the next week.

After the princes received the test papers, they began to answer the questions.

Shao Shude drank his tea, as if his mind was wandering away.

Today's exam is actually mainly for King Qin.The questions are not easy to answer, and they are also very challenging.

Half an hour later, the tea was served in the second pot, and Erlang was the first to answer the questions and hand in the test paper.

Shao Shude sat down immediately and took it over to examine it carefully.

After a while, he raised his head and asked, "Erlang, why do you think there is only a [-]% chance?"

"I feel afraid that my lifespan is not enough." Shao Chengjie said: "If he succeeds to the throne at the age of 30 without any meritorious service, the soldiers of the imperial army may not accept it. It is a situation of waiting for death. Maybe something like Xu Wen and Zhang Hao will happen. If he succeeds to the throne at the age of 50 or [-], he may have a chance, but if he delays a little bit, his lifespan will not be long enough."

Shao Chengjie knows everything about the army and knows how difficult it is to gain the morale of the army.It's okay for you to build an army from scratch, but if you inherit it, you will have to pay several times the effort, and the effect may not be good.

Inheritance at the age of 30 or [-] does not mean that there will be rebellion, but most of the forbidden army cannot be commanded at will. Just like Luo Shaowei and Wang Rong, they can guard their homes, but going out to fight is extremely difficult.And once the military power is handed over to outsiders, there is still the possibility of rebellion, which is a dead end.

At the age of 50, this is too difficult.

After his father proclaimed himself emperor, it took him several years to unify the Northland, and Hedong was still under the flag of peace and ease.If Hedong is stalking, it is very likely that this meeting has not been won.

People in their 50s don't have that much ambition anymore.His mentality will become conservative, and he will be more worried about whether his son can successfully succeed him after his death. At this time, he will clean up the general.And as long as the cleaning starts, it will lead to a decrease in the morale of the army and a decline in combat effectiveness. It is simply a vicious circle, and it is also a dead end.

Like my father, there are not many people in their 50s who are not worried about what will happen to them after death.

"Then where do you think the possibility of breaking the game is? If it's unclear here, let's expand it." Shao Shude asked.

"Have more children, see if you are lucky, and see if you can produce a capable one." Shao Chengjie said: "Before that, get married more, stabilize those feudal towns, and then look for opportunities to slowly settle things."

Shao Shude smiled and said: "You are right, but not entirely right. But Grandpa is still very happy, because you know where the border is, and you didn't just rely on brute force to force it. Manpower is sometimes poor, and people have to recognize themselves. The ability to recognize where the limits of the country are.”

"If you don't have experience in the army, you don't understand these things." Shao Chengjie said: "In the past when I fought against Pang Shigu Yingshui, I provided military supplies in Ruzhou. A battle consumes hundreds of thousands of arrows, and it takes several deaths. Thousands of people, nestled in the palace all day, ten fingers do not touch the spring water, it is easy to be neither serious nor serious, what a fart."

"Haha!" Shao Shude didn't care about the swear words blurted out by his son, but smiled and said, "This is what Grandpa is most satisfied with today. People must have a sense of boundaries. It's good that you have this concept in your mind. However, in your answer sheet Mentioned, it is still a fluke mentality to make a surprise soldier and put all your eggs in one basket."

"If you can't do it step by step, you won't have enough life span." Shao Chengjie argued.

"But didn't you mention raising your son?" Shao Shude asked.

Shao Chengjie sighed, and said, "Your Excellency taught you the right thing."

"Let's talk about the matter just now." Shao Shude said: "It's right to marry feudal towns, but you can't just use force to win peace. You can unite feudal towns to fight feudal towns, and fight a few more times. It’s much easier to clean up if you empty it out slowly. But there will also be alliances between the feudal towns, and the death of the rabbit and the sorrow of the fox. The specific operation is very complicated, so I won’t talk about it.”

"What Grandpa wants to tell you, this strategy can also be used in other areas, such as the court. Without force, it will not work. If you don't win the hearts of the army, things like Xu Wen and Zhang Hao will happen, but force alone is not enough. No, the national power is not enough, the life expectancy is not enough, you know that."

"You know these reasons, but you still choose to use force as your first choice. This is called path dependence. You are still young and have never suffered, so you think this will make sense. Well, I wish I had known where I would stumble. No. If there is no unforgettable pain, there will be no long memory.”

Shao Chengjie was ashamed.

"Father helped you destroy the difficult feudal towns. Look at who you are fighting? Jiannan, Hunan, Bohai..." Shao Shude sighed, and said: "My grandfather fought fiercely with Zhu Quanzhong for seven or eight years. Years, exhausted physically and mentally, so that he often doubted whether he could win, and even wanted to kill people violently. Fighting the three towns of Yun, Yan, Qi and Hebei, the diehards he met, wished to kill them all. If there is no Jinxian ..."

Shao Shude coughed, and said, "In short, the feudal town you attacked is really nothing. Those bullshit Bohai soldiers, let Zhu Jin go for a charge, they would have been in a panic. Remember, you must have a sense of boundary, know yourself Where is the limit."

"My son is taught." Shao Chengjie said.

"Forget it, some things can't be taught, and you can remember them better if you realize them yourself. Besides, you understand these principles..." Shao Shude sighed: "It's enough to have a sense of boundaries. Even if you have path dependence, you know the limits. That won't be a big deal. Let's talk about the answer sheet again. In the second case, you think you are [-]% sure that you can unify, so what is the other [-]%?"

"There are stupid people like Yang Wo, or even orphans and widowed mothers." Shao Chengjie said: "The domineering index of 50% does not mean that he is not domineering, but he is more obedient and more manageable than before. This kind of person is in power, and when foreign enemies invade, he has no ability to personally conquer, so he can only hand over the army to the general. If the general is scheming and shameless, he may rebel as soon as he leaves the capital."

"Is there an example?" Shao Shude asked.

"Qingzhou Wang Shifan. After the death of his father Wang Jingwu, a young man succeeded to the throne. Zhang Chan, the governor of Dizhou, refused to accept it. Lu Hong, the commander of the teacher, led the army to conquer. As soon as Lu Hong left Qingzhou, he returned to the teacher and threatened Wang Shifan." Shao Chengjie said.

"That's right." Shao Shude nodded. It's a good thing you didn't cite Zhao Kuangyin as an example, otherwise...

Qingzhou Wang Shifan's ending is good.

Wang is a little cautious.When Lu Hong led an army into Qingzhou, he pretended to be pitiful and sent envoys to give gifts. He also said that he was young and lacking in ability, so he really shouldn't be an envoy.Then it was mentioned that Lu Hong was greatly favored by his father, if he could keep himself alive and make the ancestors have no shortage of sacrifices, that would be Lu Hong's kindness, and everyone would praise him.

Wang Shifan spoke earnestly, and he was a young man. Lu Hong lost his vigilance and was beheaded at the wine table when the envoy was giving gifts.Then Wang Shifan rushed to the army overnight, inspected the troops, rewarded the three armies, and resolved the crisis.

Of course, Wang Shifan's success also depends on his opponents.Lu Hong was too careless, otherwise there would be another ending.

"So, from these, what did you realize?" Shao Shude asked.

"It's best to gain the morale of the army, so that you can safely hand over the troops to the generals and take them out to fight, just like your father." Shao Chengjie said: "If you can't get the morale of the army, then you must have the ability to conquer by yourself. It is best to be able to win. It is very dangerous to entrust the forbidden army to the generals to take them into battle."

"Let's sum up what I just said." Shao Shude said.

"First, you must be brave, understand military strategy, be able to conquer in person, and win the hearts of the army. Second, you must hold the army in your hands at all times, and do not easily hand it over to outsiders. Third, you must have a sense of boundaries and know where the limit is. , don’t act recklessly. Fourth, don’t be reckless, sometimes there are other solutions.” Shao Chengjie said.

"It's almost like that." Shao Shude stood up, patted his son's shoulder with satisfaction, and sighed: "Grandfather, I really want to see you suffer from this reckless thing."

Shao Chengjie was speechless.

"Let's go, grandpa will take you for a while." Shao Shude said.

Seeing the backs of their father and second brother leaving, the other princes were stunned.

Didn't you read our exam papers?This exam is prepared for the second brother alone, right?Are we all test takers?The second brother looks like this, is the crown prince stable?
